    hey, we were the ones wasting time, but it was hopefully for a good cause... or something along those lines.

    Who said that time was a waste? We got a highly entertaining and educational thread out of the deal!

    Not at all, you didn't waste anyone's time. You asked a great question which got people so interested that this whole thread resulted. And there's nothing wrong with a healthy debate, everyone here is still friends. I just thought that it was funny that you asked the question, and while everyone else got sidetracked, you solved it on your own!

    I can imagine it now. Someone googling for the atomic weight of unobtanium finds this thread in a computer modders' forum.. wtf?

    And there was me thinking someone made up Unobtanium...the mythical element no-one can obtain, the quest goes on...

    Souns like something you'd hear Proffessor Frink talkin about on the Simpsons.

    Cool thread though.

    Ya, that was the stuff I was going to mention. It's great stuff, but, read the safety info on the tube! I think it contains BPA or some other nasty substance. (I can't find my tube atm...) I used to work it with my fingers before I found this out, now I only touch it with gloves on. As for gloves, you can buy a box of blue nitrile (non-latex) gloves at your local Costco/Price Club for under $5. They're not really thick, but they'll keep junk off your hands.

    That being said, Cannibal is right, it's great stuff. You mix the two part stuff by mushing it together and apply it to the area to fill. You can even apply it under water. After it cures you can file it, drill, tap, machine, etc do whatever to it.
